And his life was another example of sports injustice. He was the best; I saw him run in many movies, the fastest horse in the picture, yet every year when the Kentucky Derby selections were made, he never got a bid. The "Committee" decided that the QHOF (Quality of Horse Flesh) was not as strong as others and the fact he always won his chases against all the others, he never scheduled a movie with Champion, Silver, Buttercup, Topper, et. al. Even after many years, he was the small "c" champion of the harras (Why you ask? he never bred.) Still, he couldn't get a bronze statue, so they stuffed him!

So the Confederate (I'm good if people want to fly the Stars and Bars) manipulation and 'jockeying' of sports is nothing new. {There are others but I can not reveal them at this time} * I never get to use curly braces.

*You can be sure I will!
